Default Re: Chevelle P-O-P questions

There is faux everything in the market place.

For instance; an LS6 Chevelle rag top, that started life asa 6 clyinder Pontiac Lemans hardtop. It has all of the paperwork; Even two Build sheets, protecto plate and yes all numbers match.

It has everything but a chain of ownership documenting the car!

If a complete car can be cloned and pass the scrutiny of National Show Judges, then certainly a protecto plate can be fauxed 100%

The POP was attached to the warranty book by the plant. They couldn't depend on all the dealers to do that.

Kurt,
You are correct, the protecto plates were glued to the warranty booklets by GM not the dealers. This is what I was trying to state, in my ramblings. Sorry for the confusion.

There was a Red LS-6 Convertible for sale at NIAB recently.I was astounded by the phonyness of this car.It had all the documents forged to look original.Someone really paid to much for it as I heard it went for 80K last year.I have a copy of the buildsheet and P-O-P.Looks like a second grader made it.

If it has the little Chevy bowtie on it, a repopped POP is illegal use of the GM trademark unless it is done under license of GM Restoration Parts or a GM licensed dealer.
